How does international context influence state policies toward
religious minorities? Using parliamentary proceedings, court
decisions, newspaper archives, and interviews, this book is the
first systematic study that employs international context in the
study of state policies toward religion, and that compares Turkey
and France with regard to religious minorities. Comparing
Christians in Turkey and Muslims in France, this book argues that
policy change toward minorities becomes possible when strong
domestic actors find a suitable international context that can help
them execute their policy agendas. The Turkish Islamists used the
European Union to transform the Turkish politics that brought a
reformist moment for Christians in the 2000s. The Far Right in
France utilized the rise of Islamophobia in Europe to adopt
restrictive policies toward Muslims. Ramazan Kilinc argues that the
presence of an international context that can favor particular
groups over others, shifts the domestic balance of power, and makes
some policies more likely to be implemented than others.
